[QUOTE="HardcoreDandDGirl, post: 7651130, member: 82746"] I am a 26 year old woman who started playing at the age of 8. I can say that very little has improved in the attitude of most people I have met. last year a comic and game store in my area went out of buisness. I was there the first week it was open, and the last day it closed. The owner used to joke with me about how a guy gave me a hard time 3 or 4 years ago. (remeber 15 or 16 year old me was there the first week this place opened) when I walked in, and the guy I never met before asked "Are you lost, or are you a booth girl?" becuse the idea I was there looking for D&D books and War hammer minis was too far out there. I have in the last year been told I am not a 'real' nerd (although I never claimed to be) at a convention, and had someone try to explain RPGs and minis by compairing them to dolls so I would 'get it'. I also walked in on a game right before christmas with my married friend, and was asked to leave becuse 'girlfriends are not welcome' when I tried to explain that I had been playing for over ten years they laughed at me. then again when I went to free comic book day the last 3 years I have gotten the same attitude. It is not everyone, but there are ALOT of people who seam to think I don't have just as much fun playing as anyone. [/QUOTE]
